It’s a very nicely put together garment with a plush tartan lining and the traditional press stud fixings. There’s a sturdy, double ended, full length brass zipper with an overlap held in place by press studs. Deep pockets are both sides on hip and breast, with a small Velcro flapped pocket on the left arm. Inside there’s a zipped pocket for your wallet and the raised collar has a soft corduroy lining so there’s no chafing, it also fastens together to keep out the rain by means of a mini belt arrangement.
The quilted shoulders have internal pockets for the included soft body armour, likewise the elbows. The waist has a belt too. There’s even an included packet of spare press studs and a nylon over-jacket for extremes of weather.
It’s available in both black and brown, very soft and very comfortable, and retails at £412.50 plus £82.50 VAT. Postage and packing is included to all UK addresses.
